James Bond-Star Daniel Craig wurde am Set für den neuesten 007-Film an sein Alter erinnert. Die schelmische Crew und die Schauspielkollegen des neuen Bond-Films "Quantum of Solace", der aktuell in Panama gedreht wird, sorgten dafür, dass der 40. Geburtstag des Bond-Schauspielers nicht übersehen wurde.
"Dan fand eine Pfeife und Hausschuhe in seinem Wohnwagen zur Feier des Tages.", sagte ein Insider von der Küstenstadt Col. "Außerdem bekam er eine Bond-Girl-Torte mit Zuckerguß in Form von Viagar-Pillen. Falls er in seinem fortgeschrittenen Alter etwas Hilfe braucht!"

This says, that Dan got a pipe and slippers for his brithday and a Bond-Girl fanvy cake with sugar-icing in form of a viagra pill - in case he is developing problems in his old age. :lol:
The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

If Daniel won't do a public announcement about it, I demand SATSUKI! You come out and tell everyone how Daniel crushes the blue pill and that he doesn't need it. Better yet show a tape proving his virility! Satsuki, do it!

James Bond has become Belarusian partisan singing Kupalinka

A Hollywood film director Edward Zwick has finished shooting of a film about World War II. A Hollywood actor Daniel Craig was starred in the lead role of a commander of the Belarusian partisan party. Daniel Craig was James Bond in Casino Royale film.

Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai, Legends of the Fall) was inspired by a screenplay by Clay Frohman based on a nonfiction book of the same name by author Nechama Tec. The film is based on the true story of the Bielski partisans. The brothers organized a Jewish partisan party, disobeying the Nazi who had occupied Belarus. Daniel Craig is starring in the role of Tuvia Bielski, one of the four brothers. Another celebrity, Liev Schreiber (The Omen), performed as another brother, “Telenedelya” writes.

The film is to be released in autumn -2008. The budget of the film is $50 million.

Not “Black crow”, but “Kupalinka”!

Impenetrable woods of Belarus were filmed in 30 kilometers from Vilnius. The film crew arrived to Lithuania hoping for a snowy winter, but there was hopeless thawing weather. So partisans’ deeds were shot against the background of artificial snow and silicone icicles.

No only weather have made to make modifications. For instance, Belarusian actors debated with Ed Zwick over the song partisans could sing around the fire. According to the idea of the director, they were signing a Russian national song “A Black Crow”, while according to the actors, they would rather singing “Kupalinka” which is dear to every Belarusian. The film crew liked the song. There were people among the crowd of extras who were singing well. Zwick even noted that partisans were singing like a professional choir. But it wasn’t a flattering remark.

“Partisans are tired after a battle!” the director was shaking his head. “And they must sing this way!”

So they had to sing again…

By the way, actors were pleased by Zwick’s manner of work.

“After every take he said: “Terrific! Wonderful!” and continued: “Retake the single scene!” Anna Myaleshka, an actress performing a poor Jewish girl, recalls. “And we repeated again and again and again… And each take was brilliant, simply ideal, perfect, according to the director!”

Even Prima cigarettes are enjoyable beside Daniel Craig

Students of the Vilnius European Humanities University were taking part in the crowd of extras. One of them, a second year student Ihar Stankevich, told to “Telenedelya”:

“Each of us wanted to stand near James Bond, but it was not so easy to get near him! Once a scene was shot where two Soviet partisans were accompanying Bielski-Craig to their party’s commander passing a group of smoking guerillas. It was announced that smokers are needed for filming the scene. Both smokers and non-smokers rushed forward! Four takes were needed for rehearsal, and seven for shooting the episode. All this time I was near Daniel Craig. By the way, we were smoking “Prima” cigarettes. Later I asked the Lithuanian artistic director are they captured cigarettes, and he sadly answered: “I wish they were!... I managed to find them in Vilnius at a price of 7 Lithuanian litas (2.5 litas are equal to $1) per pack with difficulty!”

Your tea, sir!

Daniel Craig was diligently learning phrases, repeating them in every key. He tried to concentrate on the Russian text before the beginning of each take. The Hollywood star wasn’t to say anything difficult. Sometimes it was just two words, like “Good afternoon!” But the sensation of the film set was his affected “I demand categorically!” from a dialogue with a Soviet commanding officer, where he “timidly” asked medicines for his party.

Craig was patient. And only once he lost his temper. He was to sit with a mug of hot tea in his hands. An assistant was pouring more and more boiling water into the mug so that the tea seemed hot. By the end of the day the tea turned absolutely opaque… So Craig rebelled: “After all, I am an Englishman. Why should I sit with this pig wash in my cup?!”

And the actor was given fresh tea at once.

Smiling through tears

When a war drama is shot, it’s almost like actors live through a tragedy themselves. That is why jokes in the breaks, funny blunders help to recover balance of mind.

When one of the scenes was filmed, a mobile phone of an old man who performed as a ghetto elder rang. Shooting is a long process, and the elderly man dozed off. Groggy after the sleep, he could not turn off the insistent signal. Shooting was paused, and the director tried to help, but could not manage the phone as well. Finally, Zwick switched off the phone, while the whole filming crew was laughing. And then he had to apologize to the elder, as he didn’t remember his phone’s PIN-code!

I've heard this before but do you think this time it's true? I almost dread them getting married since so many "hollywood" marriages go bad, and I do like them together. This is from a british tabloid webpage by the way so to be taken with a grain of salt. :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh, and again Sats is only 29...lucky girl...she never ages...

BOND star DANIEL CRAIG is to wed his film producer girlfriend SATSUKI MITCHELL.

They plan to tie the knot when hunky Daniel, 40, finishes new 007 movie Quantum of Solace.

A source told The Sun that American beauty Satsuki, 29, visits him on the set in Panama every day.

She said: “Daniel and Satsuki are so loved-up. He asked her to marry him and she’s been showing off a very beautiful Cartier ring.

"It has a large diamond solitaire with a platinum setting.”

The couple met in 2005 on the set of The Jacket.

Daniel had a supporting role in the movie, which starred KEIRA KNIGHTLEY and ADRIEN BRODY.

Their relationship hit the rocks later the same year, when Daniel reportedly had a fling with his Layer Cake co-star SIENNA MILLER.

But the source said: “Daniel and Satsuki are now stronger than ever. They’re planning an intimate ceremony for close family and friends. They make a great couple.”

Daniel has a daughter, Ella, from his first wife, actress Fiona Louson. The marriage ended in 1994.

His spokesman refused to comment last night on the new wedding plans.

What!!! Daniel is going to marry???! Hmmm how do the Sun know? I think it's too fast work - 2 years together and getting married is not good, I think they should take it easy. I don't know what to make of this.

Actually, Daniel and Satsuki have been together closer to four years. They met in early 2004 on the set of The Jacket and I remember seeing photos of them together in the summer of 2004. He seems to like long relationships. Daniel was with Heike for seven years before they split. I don't tend to rely on wedding info supplied by unnamed sources in British tabloids, so I'm treating this as just a rumor. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised if Daniel and Satsuki eventually tied the knot, since she gave up her career in Los Angeles to be with him and they do seem happy together.
